| To be honest, I think a major problem of fundamental Christianity is that they take the Bible as completely historical. Does it outline some historical figures and events? Absolutely, but if we compare notes from what we know now to what actually happened there are numerous discrepancies. I think people don't look at the Bible in the viewpoint that when it was written people were trying to explain how the world was in the state that it was in. That's completely understandable for them to try and theorize on how things came into being.
Really it's a huge problem in Christianity, and I say this being someone who is a Christian, our religion looks at the Bible and if science says something and proves something with mountains of evidence, people just say, "No way, not possible." Which is fucking ignorant.
If just half these people would learn to respect the Bible for the messages it has on how to treat other fucking people instead of spending every waking moment trying to shit on science or gays, world would be a much, much better place. America too. |
